I opened my eyes when I felt something leaving the bed. My eyes felt heavy to the point that I'm having trouble keeping them open. It took a while, but it felt nice when something cool was placed onto my forehead.

"Sorry, did I wake you? "He asked in a soft voice.

"It's alright. "I answered with a soft smile, my whole body feels too heavy to do anything else.

"What time is it? "I asked him.

"About six in the morning. "He answered after checking his watch.

"Shouldn't you be at your morning jog by now? "

"......... How did you know that? "He's surprised. I chuckled before I answer.

"I'm quite a stalker, catch my drift? Every day, I'll wake up early and follow you, then I rush back and took a shower and everything before you got back. "

"Wait, you're there all this time? "He's surprised to hear that, then he sat down at the edge of the bed, tucking the blankets closer to me. I slightly shifted my position to make myself comfortable while facing him. He caught onto the cool towel that slipped off my forehead when I moved, then he fixed it back on my head.

"I just wanted to spend more time with you. "I smiled when I said to him. I'm so glad that I've finally told him.

"You should've told me sooner. We could've gone for the jog together. "He grabbed onto my cold hand and squeezed it. I gently shook my head, being careful not to drop the towel.

"I didn't want you to find out......... After all, I can't tell when I need to take a suppressant. I don't want to risk letting you see me suffer whenever the creature within me starts to rampage. So......... I never even consider it. "I said as I squeezed onto his hand as well. I'm being awfully honest here, what has gotten into me?

"Kiera........ "He gave me that pained look again, but for some reason, this doesn't hurt as much anymore. Suddenly, he received a text message, the notification tone startled us as it destroys the peaceful moment we had together.

"........ Who is it? "I asked as he seems awfully quiet after reading it.

"....... It's Mitsuru. She's gonna hunt me down if I don't show up anytime soon. "Aki sighed as he put away his phone, showing no intention is to leave.

"........ You should go. "I said to him with a bitter smile. I don't really want him to leave, but it's the right thing to do.

"I know that look, you're forcing yourself again. "Aki practically tear down all the mask I put on. Looks like this trick won't work on him anymore.

"You're always so kind.......... Always shining so bright. It's obvious that someone like me never wanted to let you go. "I'm tired, my voice is soft like a whisper, yet it's something I must say.

"Kiera? "Aki doesn't really understand what I meant, but that's just how he is. The lovable dork I loved with all my heart.

"....... It doesn't matter who you are, how weak you are. Anyone could be strong as long as they master what they do best. Once you're strong, just remember the use that strength to protect the weak, just like how the others did back then. "His eyed widened when I said that. To be honest, I'm surprised too, I didn't expect him to remember.

"....... You remember what I said? "He's shocked.

"I'll never forget. I, on the other hand, is quite surprise to see you remember......... Those are the words that made me fall for you, Aki. "I smiled as I said that.

"What? "He's pretty surprised to hear that. This made me want to tease him.

"What? You think it's like oh my you're so handsome and it's like love at first sight? "I chuckled when he blushed.
